Abstract:
Since the discovery of the CRISPR-Cas engineering system in 2012, several approaches for using this innovative molecular tool in therapeutic strategies and even diagnosis have been investigated. The use of this tool requires a global approach to DNA damage processes and repair systems in cells. The diversity in the functions of various Cas proteins allows for the use of this technology in clinical applications and trials. Wide variants of Cas12 and Cas13 are exploited using the collateral effect in many diagnostic applications. Even though this tool is well known, its use still raises real-world ethical and regulatory questions.
